TIPS FOR INSTALLING : The area inside the 'red' square is what you see when looking down on the blade when it's installed into the Gracey Shaft. The "V" Notch is the cutting surface of the blade. NOTE : there are 3 "V"s, one for each decade of trimming. When you look into the shell-holder, the blade facing up, as pictured, and the blade is on the 3:00 side of the view [ inside the blue box]. Now 'snug' the setscrew against the blade. Put a piece of brass into the shell-holder with the edge into the "V" Notch. HINT : If you twist the blade slightly 'counter-clockwise' before you tighten the setscrew, the blade will twist 'clockwise ' when the setscrew is tightened. With a few minutes of "Tinkering", the desired angle you want will be set.
Wiring the Dayton Motor to
the Electrical source.
Step 1. Twist the Black and the Brown wires together.
Step 2. Twist the White and the Blue wires together.
Step 3. You may then "Quick Connect" each pair of wires
to each end of an electric cord. (cut the end off a new 10
ft. extension cord).
Step 4. For Electrical Power control, I suggest you wire
the connections through a wall switch for lights. A box and switch is just
a few dollars at the local hardware store. See photo below for wiring the
light switch option.
The photo above is my Gracey Trimmer set-up.
With a 3,000 RPM Motor, it seems the Carbide,
has less tendency to Catch or Dig, into the Trimmed surfaces
of the Brass, therefore you can Trim more brass, faster, with less
finger irritation. The motor I use is a "Grainger" model
## 3M292, 1/8 hp., 3,000 RPM. It is larger in
diameter than the Gracey Trimmer is designed to use. After
mounting the motor to a board with 'Plumbers-Tape', I only had to use flat
washers, to elevate the Trimmer to the correct height, and then connect
the 2 shafts together with Automotive fuel hose, and
2 fuel hose clamps. ...BJones...
NOTE: The Black Motor is for cleaning the inside
of the trimmed caseneck. I threaded the shaft to accept the BoreBrush Adaptor.
PRODUCT COMMENTS
E-Mail Response From GREG:
........ I just wanted to let you know
that the cutter is a real no-no. No
problem to install and adjust, No burrs or chatter
marks inside or outside the finished case, No heavy
pressure required to make it cut, No blisters or sore
fingers, No gorilla grip required to keep the case from rotating
in your hand, and it trims a whole lot of cases in No time.
It makes a good trimmer a lot better.
..........After the Holidays, I'll order 2 more, for my other Gracy's.
Greg And
He did buy [2] more. Thanks

Recently there have been a few
questions about the "Pros and Cons" of having the 3,000 RPM Motor on a
Gracey Trimmer. I first assembled my Gracey when Mr. Gracey was recommending
the use of a 3/8th's inch electric drill to spin the shaft. The noise
of the drill motor will make the user (Auto-Mechanic for over 30 years)
think; "There's gotta' be a better method." The first 1,500 RPM Motor
had insufficient power and More Horse Power came with More RPM. Now,
after 16 years of 3,000 RPM, The Gracey is "Flawless !"
